p.26 #7 · What is your most recent (alt) lens purchase?
Last night I took a chance on A Nikon 105/2.5 AIs.
Looked very clean with late serial and one owner from new.
150GBP which for the UK is a fairly good deal, just need to wait for it and see if it was worth it.

I should be receiving a S-M-C 105/2.8 within a week.
Still looking for a OM 21/3.5, none here, and the bay only has BIN sales that seem a bit high...
If anyone spots one for sale, PM me please.
Prefer blacknose MC.

Purchased about a month ago (I think) - see what happens when you buy too many lenses? :P You can end up not being sure where they even came from. But I'm just now putting it thru it's paces - so I guess that qualifies as "latest".

I just bought this. 135/3.5 Zeiss Planar.
The field of view is 60 degrees, so about the same as a 35mm lens on 24x36mm film/digital.
f/3.5 may sound slow but the DOF is shallower than 35mm f/1.0
I'm thinking a few shots with portra 400 pushed to 1600 are on the cards
A quick google of the lens will make your eyes water at the price... but I paid $195
Image is NOT mine, and it from www.mainlinephoto.com.au from whom I purchased the lens. Thanks to Scott for answering my many questions about the lens.
